Hays school district condemns racially harassing video on social media

Hays CISD leaders are condemning a “racially harassing video” involving two Hays High students that was posted to social media earlier this week.

According to a district press release, officials were made aware of a video that showed a person, later identified as a student, using a racial slur several times while driving in a vehicle. The video, which had been originally posted on SnapChat, had then been posted onto to Twitter by district students.

Officials immediately investigated the matter and determined that the conduct occurred off of school district property, outside of the school day, and not at a school activity, according to the release.
